Hi UCS Friends,
Matthew Fox is going to be speaking on 9-11-11 at First United Methodist
Church of Boulder both in the AM service and for a commemoration from 7-9:00
PM. Below is a description of his talk and a link to FUMC-B.
I am really interested in getting a live video-feed for this so everyone
can watch it. But initial bids are beyond the budget of the church. Does
anyone have any connections with folks who do this type of work and can offer
it at a discount or a donation given the importance of this
work/theme/presentation? If so, please have them contact me!
Matthew Fox: Lessons Learned from 9/11 Ten Years After
Description: The ten years since 9/11 have not been pretty to behold.
America is involved still in its longest wars ever; our economy is bleeding
profusely in great part due to these wars; jobs are scarce, hope even scarcer.
Aspirations of the young are on the rise in Arab countries and other lands
yet at home we continue to define education as doing well in exams. Can
youth and elders forge new relationships of action and of wisdom? Can
religious bigotry and rigid fundamentalisms be replaced by interfaith wisdom and
practice? Can humans resurrect education as an education in values and forge
an economic blueprint that saves more than human as well as human society?
Can we convert moral outrage into positive action? Questions abound and we
will explore some of them with as much depth and help from spiritual guides
past and present as we can muster.
